R. W. Macdonald, President,
Alumni Association
As part of the necessary homework for this year's
responsibilities I have reviewed the President's pages
appearing in the Chronicle since the Spring of 1962. They
provide an interesting record of the activity of the Alumni
Association.
Bill Gibson's call for increased federal aid, particularly
at the graduate level, remains unresolved:
Frank Walden's forthright demand for new solutions to
new educational problems; his mirror for grads, pointing
out not only the rights and privileges of university graduates but more particularly their corresponding responsibilities; his urgent plea for prompt implementation of the
Macdonald report:
Paul Plant's many challenges to graduates, particularly
in realization of the areas of responsibility in the university
family—administration, faculty, students, alumni and the
community at large; his demand for a positive five year
plan for UBC and his invitation to UBC grads to ensure
the success of the "Challenge of Growth":
Dave Brousson's determination to develop an awareness
and understanding throughout the community of the
problems of UBC in particular and of higher education in
general; his recognition that many grads today almost
inevitably but properly have the problem of divided loyalties between the past and present of their own Alma Mater
and a new and different university in their own region:
—all these questions are still to a greater or lesser degree
challenging the university.
What is singularly impressive in this review is the degree
of accomplishment that has been achieved in so many
fields of Alumni Association activities.
Whither now Alumni?
We are at a time of questioning. As the products of
UBC we have a continuing duty to review our participation
President's
Guest Editorial
in the University's affairs, participation by way of assistance
and not by way of interference.
Clearly we must continue and expand many of our
existing programs, particularly our student-alumni committee activities, our branches activities, our riding contact
program, our regional scholarship program (possibly with
the development of a geographical equalization grant?),
our new graduate fellowship program, Alumni Annual
Giving and the 3 UCF campaign, our efforts towards
increased Federal support of higher education. We must
continue to review the challenging problem of athletic
scholarships, the most meaningful nature of Homecoming,
the quality and content of the graduate Chronicle, to
name but a few of many areas.
The Alumni Association presently has committees engaged in four relatively new programs: (1) A Member of
Parliament day on campus patterned after our recent
successful MLA day and designed to inform our political
representatives in the federal field of the accomplishments
and needs of UBC. (2) An appropriate 50th anniversary
program for your Alumni Association's birthday in 1966.
(3) A 50th anniversary Alumni conference in 1966 in
conjunction with the extension department which will
seek to project British Columbia to 1976 (with some outstanding speakers and resource people). (4) A Great
Teacher's Award in recognition of outstanding teaching
accomplishment at UBC.
The Alumni readers of the UBC Chronicle are the
Association. It is expected that interested, constructive
criticism and suggestions in respect to the Association's
activities will be expressed. Our Association has a unique
quality in comparison with many alumni associations,
namely, a very wide range of interest and concern, far
beyond the conventional money-raising and social aspects
of an alumni association. To be meaningful our opinions
must be well informed, carefully considered and firmly
pursued. With the aid of a strong Board of Management
and of our many thousands of graduates, I will make
every effort to maintain the standards of my predecessors.

Mass Education

(U. ot Calif.)
What do we want for our children, training or education? They are two different processes which should
not be confused though both are required in the development of the mature adult.
Training, whether it be the training of a hunting dog,
military training, pilot training, or child training, is characterized by requiring a given response to a particular situation. Thus when the situation arises again, the response will
be almost automatic. In training, the responses are drilled
into the trainees by repetition.
Education, on the other hand, as the word implies, is a
drawing-out process. Here, there is no "correct" response to
a situation, but the student is encouraged to develop a response which is satisfying to himself. Hence there may be
several acceptable responses. The teacher may present ideas
to the student which disturb the student's satisfaction, and
thus lead to a different response.
The essence of education is the response of the student
to the teacher. From this starting point the teacher
may direct the attention to omitted details and force the
student into consideration of more complex situations.
Unlike training, where instruction comes from the trainer
and the response from the trainee, education involves a
continuing dialogue between teacher and student, with the
teacher drawing ideas and conclusions from the student,
and suggesting increasing complexities.
Education involves the thoughtful consideration of continually new situations, and the development of the ability
to cope with these. It involves the ability to think and to
communicate. Communication must be through the medium
of language, and this requires training.
Whether the language used be English, or the symbolic
language of mathematics, there are correct and incorrect
usages, and these must be learned through training. Hence
training in some fields must precede education. Thus it is
doubtful that one could be educated without being trained.
On the other hand, many receive a great deal of training
without ever having been exposed to education.
When we speak of a "Master Plan for Higher Education"
what do we mean? More years of schooling? To what
end? What are the objectives? Are we trying to prepare these
young people to answer questions when the answers are
already known, or are we trying to prepare them to cope
with future problems that are themselves unknown to us?
Are we really interested in education, or merely in training?
The success of the armed services in teaching through
films and other mechanical devices has opened a Pandora's
box of programmed learning. This, together with television,
has advanced the cause of mass learning.
But let us recognize this for what it is, mass training, not
mass education. A taped lecture repeats the same words,
with the same emphasis, and can demand the identical
response. This will produce the desired uniformity which is
the goal of training, if the members of the audience are
equally trainable.
Mass education, on the other hand, is impossible, at least
without masses of teachers. These teachers must be
aware that they are not merely trainers, but must strive
to continually develop the student to think for himself, and
to draw his own conclusions to his, the student's satisfaction. This cannot be done in classes that are so large as to
prevent full and complete discussion by each student on the
problems confronting him.
If it is education we want for our children, then we must
be prepared to foot the bill.
For the teacher the problem is, To what extent am I
attempting to educate my students, and to what extent am I
trying to train them? Do I know what each student thinks?
Am I expecting a correct response from each of them, or
am I trying to get them to develop a response which will
satisfy them?
There is probably not one correct solution, but several
acceptable answers. n
6 HUT
LIFE
IS
THE
LIFE
Mike Bolton, Arts IV
(Reprinted from The Ubyssey)
Behind brock hut-life is one segment of the campus few
students know about.
Last Thursday I set out to discover the who, why and
what of the various groups occupying these huts.
Some 400 students spend at least their lunch hour in the
hut every day. Hut activities are the central part of their
on-campus social life for most members.
Come fathers and mothers throughout the whole land,
And don't criticize what you don't understand.
These words from folk singer Bob Dylan reflect the attitude of the Folk Song Soc to the outside world.
The folk singers insist that they are ethnic but not beat.
They said ethnic includes chewing snuff and riding Hondas
but not singing about friendly dragons.
"Real folk singing must protest something," said Ellis
Pryce-Jones. He said the hut itself reeks of protest. Member
John Carver (Science II) wears a noose around his neck to
symbolize his continual protest against everything.
The Folk Song Soc hut is subdivided into a black-painted,
unlighted roof for singing and a whitewashed one for other
activities. I visited the white room first.
"In this room we do nothing but play bridge and neck,"
said one girl. She wasn't kidding for my intrusion did not
at all inhibit their activities.
The activity room is decorated with various manifestations of the club's more creative minds. One mural is a
communal effort consisting of a collection of beer labels
from past parties. / overleaf Hut Life - (from P. 7)
"The best thing about our hut is that
we can do anything here," said Pryce-
Jones. "Most of the people here are real
individuals, we have no conformists.
The hut hasn't got the sterile atmosphere of Brock," he said.
About 50 of the club's 150 members
are active and at least 25 come every
day.
More than 100 students regularly go
to the Hillel house. Hillel is sponsored
for Jewish students by the B'nai B'rith
organization.
President Ron Appleton (Arts III)
feels the hut is necessary for Jewish
students to retain their cultural identity. "Some say they come here because
it's close to Brock but most of us come
to retain some bonds with our cultural
history," said Appleton. "We need
Jewish contacts because it doesn't look
as though anti-Semitism will ever completely disappear. We feel more at
home among Jewish people and Hillel
provides a good contact centre."
Most Hillel members have known
each other since childhood, have lived
in the same area and gone to the same
schools and synagogues. Many also belong to the Student Zionist Organization and the predominantly Jewish
Zeta Beta Tau fraternity.
Hillel is the largest hut and is comfortably furnished with a library,
kitchen, ping-pong table, study room
and lounge.
Some students spend 12 or more
hours a day in the hut, even cooking
dinner there. The doors open seven
days a week at 8:30 a.m. and close
when the last student leaves.
Jazz Soc competes with Folk Song
Soc for the honour of having the highest proportion of neurotic membership,
according to a member. About 30 members turn up daily at the Jazz Soc hut.
Sitting on the floor and listening to
their kind of music in the Jazz Soc pad
is the most integral part of the members' campus social life. Members said
Jazz Soc was only now getting back
to normal after thwarting an invasion
by frosh rock 'n rollers.
Several other clubs also meet in the
hut mall behind Brock.
About 30 members come regularly to
the Chinese Varsity hut. Another 20
frequent the Nisei Varsity hut. These
clubs serve social needs in the same
way as Hillel, most members simply
feel more at home with their own race.
The story at Jazz Soc and Folk Song
Soc is the same as at the Varsity Outdoor Club, Varsity Christian Fellowship, Aqua Soc, Sports Car Soc and
Sailing Soc.
The enthusiastic members of each
gather at the hut every day with those
who share the interest.
Most of these clubs feel they are
threatened with extinction by the Student Union Building. Hillel has a 25-
year lease on its building and is the
only club assured of a private meeting-
place in the future. The other huts may
be demolished for parking space.
SUB will likely provide one large
communal hall for all clubs.
AMS President Roger McAfee believes the fears of extinction are invalid. "Total garbage," said McAfee.
"How do all the other clubs exist without a private meeting-place?"
But how can the folk singers make a
womb out of a community centre? □ What they say about computers
Don't Look Now
It's a Computer!
Major industrial revolutions in the past were on the order of 10. The first steam
engines were about 10 times as effective as animal power, aircraft about 10 times
faster than land vehicles . . . but . . . computers are up to 10 million times as fast as
the mechanical calculators they replace."
That is a quotation from a recent article in Business Week. The same article states
that at the University of Chicago computing centre a dollar buys as much calculating
as a man could do in a year, that there are large computers in existence which are about
10 million times faster at calculations than humans.
Dr. James S. Forsyth, Head of UBC's Chemical Engineering Department, points out,
however, that 'the computer is not as much faster as one may think but has the great
virtue of forcing one to be more precise in one's thinking.'
From Business Week once again, a quote of a quote: " 'The impact of computers is
both so great and so subtle you'll find most of our people don't realize its extent,' says
Eric Weirs, chairman of Sun's [Sun Oil Co.] computer committee."
Western Business and Industry in an article entitled 'Computers in the Junior Classroom' says: "The new 'commercial stream' in the British Columbia high school
curriculum still turns out graduates who are prepared for manual file-keeping and
manual bookkeeping, although the handwriting may be clearly seen on the wall. Young
people in the 'academic stream' are no better off, and there is not the slightest reflection
in the curriculum for the high school 'vocational stream' of the computer's existence."
AT a seminar for business executives on 'Technological Reality and Business Policy'
held on campus in February Dr. Robert Theobold of New York, the chief speaker,
made some rather provocative statements. Dr. Theobold is a consultant on the effects of
scientific and technological change on society and the economy and also teaches at the
Foreign Service Institute at New York University. He drew attention to the position of
analyst Richard Bellman of the Rand Corporation which specializes in considering the
implications of the computer. Mr. Bellman had made the rather frightening statement
'it won't be long before two per cent of the population will be doing all of the work.'
Dr. Theobold, in a letter to a Vancouver paper, clarified his own stand on this
question. "The importance of Mr. Bellman's statement is not the precise figure that he
uses but his recognition that a very substantial proportion of the population will not
be required in conventional jobs and will be liberated to perform self-motivated work
and therefore require a totally new style of education which will permit them to develop
the required capabilities."
Though we may vaguely realize what has hit us, most of us don't understand how.
The people who fail to get jobs in a rapidly expanding industry are not fully aware
of the fact that the positions they might have held have been filled by computers.
Perhaps no one lost a job directly by reason of computerization. Some retired in the
natural course of events, some were retrained to serve the computers. The jobs that were
lost were lost by the new arrivals on the labor market who simply found no vacancies
where they would have existed before computers.
The following few pages take a look at a limited field — the University and the
computer. □ Problem-solver at Work
Look there!" said the one scientist
to the other in awe and admiration as they surveyed the answer produced for them by a computer. "It
would have taken four thousand
scientists five thousand years to have
made a mistake like that!"
Not so, says Mr. Werner Dettwiler,
supervisor of the University Computing
Centre; a computer is only as good, or
bad, as the human brain directing it.
Far from being a monster that is going
to take over from humanity, it is in
reality only a giant moron, low-grade
at that, which must be instructed in
tiny steps that would insult the intelligence of a three-year-old.
It is quite important to remember to
sneer at the computer in terms like
these; the alternative is to be shattered
by the sight of all that awesome data
spewing out of a featureless machine
standing in dismembered blocks on the
hollow floor which houses its electric
wiring.
The computer, which looks like a
number of separate machines, is
actually a unit, its members connected
by electric wiring in the same sense as
the toe is connected to the brain by
the nervous system. Feed a deck of
punched cards—the punches posing a
problem for solution—into unit one,
and unit two, some distance down the
room, will go to work almost instantly
on the required calculations, translating Fortran (formula translation,
which is basically the programmer's
machine communication language)
into machine language, which in turn
solves the problem. "While U Wait"
unit three then prints the results, in,
as Mr. Dettwiler cautiously expresses
it, more or less layman's English.
Can the computer translate from
one language to another? (Now we
are talking about the languages of
humanity, not Fortran.) Yes, it can,
but only by trying one word after
another until eventually it reaches the
correct word. The problem is with
idioms and special endings. Unfortunately for computer purposes, language is not an exact science. True, it
does its translating at incredible speed.
And speed, combined with accuracy,
is the computer's chief claim to worth.
It is quite a claim, at that, if we are
to be fair, and in performance commands, at UBC, a commercial rate of
$300 an hour. This is the IBM 7040
computer, acquired last August, which
works at that rate. More pertinently,
it works on the average twenty times
faster than the IBM 1620 which it
superseded. As an indication of the
unfulfilled demand for computer service, a year ago the IBM 1620 then in
use was operated twenty-four hours a
day. The 7040 now runs sixteen hours
a day.
What makes Sammy run, of course,
is human beings. The University Computing Centre is staffed by fourteen
full-time and six part-time people.
They are computer operators, key
punch operators, a secretary, and a
number of program analysts who help
the man with a computer problem to
decide how it can best be handled on
the machine.
The IBM 7040 is the largest scientific
computer in the province and does
work which would otherwise have to
be sent to Toronto or Los Angeles.
Commercial work at the Centre averages only about one hour a day and
University departments and individuals
account for the rest of the monster's
time. Almost all departments use it,
but most notably engineering, chemistry and physics. Medicine and forestry
call on it for statistical calculations.
As to individuals, many have special
research projects where the computer
can save hours, or years, of work. There
is, for instance, a professor in the German department who is using the computer to help with a concordance study.
In most sciences today it is not possible to make any significant contribution to research without the use of
computers. The first computer at UBC
could only be obtained on an undertaking that it would cost the University nothing; it had to earn its way.
Today it is recognized that it is essential for teaching and research purposes,
and there are now about 400 registered
users on campus, exclusive of courses
related to computers.
Questionnaire analyses, such as the
Student Means Survey conducted last
winter, go through the Computing
Centre. The Office of Student Services
uses it for various studies. And as to
commercial work, the Alexander bridge
and the Port Mann bridge were engineered with the help of the University Computing Centre.
The computer is not only a problem-
lO Elizabeth Blanche Norcross
solver, it is also a memory of virtually
unlimited capacity. A magnetic tape,
put through the computer, can record
at a density of 800 characters—letters,
punctuation marks, and so on — per
inch. A reel of such tape is 2400 feet
long, more than sufficient to keep a
whole year of student records. In this
respect, of reducing storage space for
archives material, the tape functions
like the now familiar microfilm.
The magnetic tape used by the computer is similar to tape recorder tapes
except that it is used to record digital
information rather than music or the
spoken word. Like the tape recorder
tape it can be erased and used for new
material. Unlike the tape recorder
tape, there is a safety device which
can be employed when recording material meant for permanent storage, a
device which ensures that the machine
will refuse to erase when some absent-
minded human calls on it to do so.
The computer, that big, tireless, willing slave of humanity has not as yet
made as much impact on business and
industry as one might expect. Its failure to do so may be ascribed to the
fact, as Mr. Dettwiler puts it, that a
key man in any given business must
be bitten by the computer bug. Then
he begins to inquire into how the
computer can aid his operations. So
far, he is not being educated to step
into a computerized world, and that
truly computerized world won't exist
until enough people at executive levels
re-educate themselves to the point of
acknowledging the existence of computers. □

In September, 1964, UBC Library prinled its first compuler-
ized list of scientific periodicals;
a similar list will be ready soon
for periodicals in ihe new Woodward Library. In September, 1965,
a computerized circulation system
will be introduced. An experimental prinled catalogue for the
phonograph record collection is
being planned. Investigations on
the feasibility of introducing
automatic data processing equipment into the Acquisitions, Serials
and Cataloguing Divisions are
proceeding.
13 D. A. McCrae, Assistant Registrar
Tn the academic year 1964-65 the Registrar's Office
-*- entered the Computer Age. With the acquisition by the
Computing Centre last August of the 7040 the Registrar was
able to take advantage for the first time of the Centre and
process through it the record number of student registrations.
Sixteen thousand students fed into the mechanical man
came out less than four and one-half hours later accurately
alphabetized, even to the Mc's and Mac's, on numbered,
double-column pages, addresses and 'phone numbers included, ready for photographic reproduction and printing.
"Bird Calls," the student directory, was in consequence distributed three or four weeks earlier than usual.
The 7040 next put its talents to work on examination
scheduling. This twice-yearly headache at UBC is now
triggered by the necessity of placing 1000 courses or sections into 30 examining periods. Last year the computer
did much to alleviate the headache. First, the Registrar's
Office placed on tape the total program of all students, and
then determined for every course to be examined the other
subjects with which it clashed. From this information and
by judgment a core timetable of courses that must be
separated was established.
TTaving this core for a base, staff of the Registrar's Office
*-■*- selected groups of subjects, forty at a go. Within four
and one-half minutes the computer had checked the new
selections against the core, recorded the interactions between
it and the new group on a conflict matrix, and established,
for each new course, not only which periods that course
could best fit into but also how many students would be
required to write another examination in an adjacent period.
At any time that a clash appeared inevitable, it was possible to determine who the student was and his complete
program.
The core timetable was gradually built up until the last
A line-up that the computer left standing. This is the September
rush for textbooks, more hectic each year.

course had found a place in it. It was possible at any point
in the process to remove and retest an earlier placed
examination.
Having produced the master timetable the computer then
assigned examinations and invigilators to classrooms.
To illustrate the time saved by utilizing the computer: in
the past a search of only one course to determine
potential clashes required an hour or more of detailed checking; now the 7040 will in less than two hours do searches
for every course offered.
When the examinations had been written, the computer
stepped back into the picture. On a card which had been
prepared for each student, the marker recorded with three
strokes of his pencil the mark assigned. The machine read
the marks, translated them first into a punch, then through
the printer into a listing of marks. Manual transcription and
key-punching were eliminated.
The logical final step—the storing of the student's record
by computer—has not yet been taken, but probably it is not
far off. At present some 150,000 cards, stored in 75 drawers.
are needed for one year's records. A single magnetic tape,
equivalent in size to two record albums, or disc, or data cell,
could carry all this information.
More important, equipment of this sort would permit very
speedy access to any desired information. The data cell, for
instance, revolves very rapidly and the reading device can
pick out any item within a fraction of a second. The tape is
slower, which means that it might take all of half an hour,
or even forty minutes, to translate everything recorded in
registration number order on a tape into alphabetical order,
or any other order.
One of the other things that refinement of the computer
process will permit in the near future is the placing in
the machine of all the regulations of the calendar, ensuring
thereby that every student's program complies with those
regulations.
It is likely, too, that the computer will get involved with
the constant review and reappraisal of academic programs.
To provide promptly the information required the next step
will undoubtedly be the integration of the tabulating equipment, which now speeds up registration procedures, with the
Computing Centre and the installation of equipment capable of handling various jobs simultaneously.
If the computer could think (and all appearances to the
contrary it can't), it would surely reflect that the reward
for a job well done is more of the same. □
The computer has infiltrated UBC classrooms and the
Mathematics Department now sponsors two second-year
courses, one in the first, one in the second lerm, known
as "An Introduction lo Computers," and "Fortran programming." That, for Ihe uninitiated, is a telescoping
of the words "formula translation."
In the coming academic year there will be a third-
year course offered — "Advanced Programming and
Data Processing."
For several years past numerical analysis courses
have been given, courses which require a strong background in mathematics.
Al other levels of instruction, courses related to
computers are now being offered in the Vancouver area
by the British Columbia Technological Institute, Vancouver Nighl Schools, and the UBC Department of
Extension.
15 Computers in White
16 The new teaching hospital at The University of British
Columbia may open as a fully computerized institution.
That is a possibility currently being studied by UBC
officials.
"Many people," said Sidney Katz in a recent Maclean's
Magazine article, "expressed the fear that automation would
'dehumanize' the individual patient by reducing him to a
coded series of numbers. Exactly the opposite has happened. Nurses now have more time for personal service to
the patients."
The hospital Mr. Katz was referring to is Sick Children's
in Akron, Ohio, the only hospital, so far as UBC Health
Centre officials know, presently in existence with a hospital
information system incorporated into its operation. Mr.
Lloyd F. Detwiller, Consultant Administrator, and others
from the University have made several study visits to Akron.
The fundamental question is, What is wrong with conventional hospital procedures that computers can correct?
A detailed study made at Akron's Sick Children's Hospital
showed that head nurses, registered nurses and student registered nurses were spending 41% of their time doing paper
work. The practical nurses were actually giving more nursing care, by 14%, than the RN group.
Worse, perhaps, is the fact that every time an order is
re-written there is the possibility of error, and orders may
have to be re-written many times. At Akron it was found
that a pill took thirteen written steps from prescription to
the patient's mouth, an X-ray fifteen writings from order to
the final report.
Now, in the computer era at Sick Children's Hospital,
the doctor's prescription is converted into a series of coded
numbers which contain the patient's age, weight, condition,
the type of drug, the dosage, frequency of medication, duration of treatment. The nurse punches this out in code and
the machine returns it to her typed out a second later so
that she can check it. Electronic memory goes to work also
and the computer issues a reminder—repeated at fifteen-
minute intervals, if necessary—when the medication is to
be given.
The computer further safeguards the patient from the
fallibility of his human health team. In the back of its
mind is the knowledge of what constitutes a safe dose of
any given drug for a person of any given age and weight.
"If the dosage prescribed goes beyond the safe range," the
Katz article points out, "the machine will question the
order, and the nurse or doctor must then confirm that an
unusually large dose has been ordered because of special
circumstances."
The computer can—and at Akron does—have programmed into it every type of material or service a patient may
require, 4500 items on the drug index, 900 possible tests on
the lab index, a dietary index, a central supply index.
Should British Columbia's teaching hospital start out in
life "as new as tomorrow?" It would mean that two kinds
of teaching would have to be carried on, teaching for service
in conventional hospitals as well as teaching for a computerized institution.
At the Sick Children's Hospital, although the Hospital
Information Service costs something to operate, hospital
officials believe that the outlay is an investment which may
bring total costs down while at the same time providing
better and safer care for the patients.
There are several big questions involved and the answers
cannot be drawn out of a hat. Can the present UBC
Computing Centre, for instance, be utilized for hospital
service as extensive as that provided in the Akron hospital?
Obviously, hospital needs would have to take priority over
all others, would have to receive instant attention. Can we
afford computerization? If we cannot, is Canada's newest
teaching hospital going to be out of date before it is fully
operative?
From the patient's viewpoint, perhaps the most interesting feature of hospital computerization is that the putting
of the computer on the nursing staff puts the nurse back by
his bedside.
It is good to know that a computer committee has been
set up at UBC to study this question of computers in hospitals. In March a conference was held with speakers
brought in from New York and Akron to discuss the latest
developments in the field. If the enthusiasm of the participants is any indication of the possible future application of the computer in the Health Sciences Centre, there
is every reason to believe that the Centre will have the first
computerized hospital in Canada. The Computer in White
may soon be a reality on the Point Grey campus. □
17 The Social Scientist Looks at
Computer Technology
The activities of social scientists
are coming more and more under
the influence of a rapidly developing
electronic computer technology. In the
few paragraphs following we attempt
to discuss the effects of the computer
on the subject matter, the research, and
the teaching methods of social scientists. We find that efficient methods of
research usually involve the computer,
that teaching methods may in future
be greatly influenced by electronic devices, and perhaps most important of
all, that the kinds of problems to
which social scientists address themselves are likely to be largely determined by the computer through its
effects on production processes.
Automation
The computer is already ushering in
a new age of automatic production involving a wide variety of self-regulating devices. These are well known to
be efficient in the performance of routine tasks because they avoid the use
of relatively expensive and relatively
unreliable human labour. Frank K.
Schallenberger has put it this way:
Automation has given us devices
which can see better, hear better,
and measure better than human operators. They think and move infinitely faster than humans. They never
get tired, they willingly work around
the clock, they do not make mistakes, they do not talk back, they are
obedient, consistent, and fully predictable. They will not go out on
strike, they do not ask annually for
higher wages, and they have few personal problems.
As a result of their efficiency, computers are now being used in the production of many material objects.
Cloth, steel, coal, and engine blocks
are only a few examples. The replacement of human labour that is involved
is an old and unavoidable cost of economic progress. Automobiles put many
harness makers out of business, and
truck transportation continues to close
many railway lines, just as the computer has taken the jobs of many
skilled machinists, payroll clerks, and
elevator operators. Technological unemployment is never pleasant but it is
the price of increased living standards
and more leisure time.
One should not, however, assume
that automation is no different from
preceding mechanization processes.
Automation means that whole systems
can operate without human participation and these systems may involve
sophisticated analysis and interpretation of complex data as well as the
performance of routine tasks. Previously, managerial groups have not been
greatly affected by automation, but the
primary advantages of computers includes their better performance in communication, analysis of information,
and control of operations. These are
what we now think of as management
functions, so that it cannot be assumed
that the burden of automation will
continue to fall largely on the unskilled and the uneducated.
Clearly, automation poses difficult
problems for social scientists. How can
its costs and rewards be equitably distributed? Will expansion of the service
industries employ persons displaced in
other sectors, or is this likely to require
increased expenditures on public
works? There will certainly be need
for more and better retraining programmes, but what form should these
take, how should they be provided,
and by whom?
Increases in the amounts of leisure
time which automation will make
available to many people pose particularly difficult problems. Although
in economics we treat leisure time as
an alternative to employment to be
valued in the same way as additional
income, this is realistic only at the
margin. Many people who are unemployed find that they have very little
to do with their free time. Our society
does not often equip people to enjoy
the large amounts of leisure time
which automation seems likely to
bring, and social scientists face the task
of understanding why it does not.
An academic naturally asks why
more people are not interested in intellectual development for its own sake,
and just as naturally finds fault with
our educational system. But surely the
roots of social attitudes lie much
deeper. What are the prime causes and
what needs to be done that we may
better cope with these new situations?
Does the new computer technology
directly menace the human race? Professor Norbert Wiener argues that
"machines can and do transcend some
of the limitations of their designers and
that in doing so they may be both
effective and dangerous."
Are we approaching the time when
man will become a slave to the computer, when for example ". . . learning
machines will be used to program the
pushing of the button in the next pushbutton war?" These are some of the
questions which the computer poses
for the social scientist.
Research
Fortunately, the computer not only
creates difficult social problems but, as
a research tool, provides powerful
means for their solution. The power of
the computer derives from the speed,
the economy and the accuracy with
which it performs simple functions
rather than from its ability to "think."
The computer carries out the standard
arithmetic operations, looks up tables
of data, stores data for future use, and
makes logical decisions of various
kinds. Although the computer can solve
very complicated problems of logic, it
must be told how, and it cannot provide the inspiration or insight essential
to good research. In short, the computer is no substitute for hard thinking
by its user.
At the same time, the computer is so
fast and so accurate that man-years on
a desk calculator are now measured in
18 minutes of computing time. Despite
the large capital investment involved,
the speed and accuracy of the computer
have greatly reduced calculating costs
and thereby enabled widespread application in the social sciences of multivariate methods which are the product
of 20th century statistics.
Multiple regression and correlation
analysis and the analysis of variance
are widely used to identify and test
relationships. Psychologists, political
scientists and sociologists employ factor and canonical analysis to identify
the basic dimensions of behaviour
patterns involving the semantic differential technique to develop the dimensions of meaning, and multiple scalo-
gram analysis to provide an empirical
basis for scaling items and to produce
scales which are consistent with the
underlying dimensions of a universe.
Economists, on the other hand, make
much use of simultaneous equation
models, input-output and linear programming techniques for examining
inter-industry relations and the structure and operation of economic systems.
Although the studies of social scientists range widely, the various disciplines are alike in that they are now
investigating questions and testing
hypotheses on a scale that would be
impossible without the aid of computers.
However, the computer has done
more for research in the social sciences
Dr. R. A. Holmes, assistant professor
of economics and political science
and the author of this article, came
to UBC in 1961 from the research
department of the CNR, Montreal.
than merely facilitate applications of
modern statistics. It has also provided
the simulation method of analysis
which has already found widespread
use in studies of personality, the brain,
business firms, voting behaviour, industries, music, economic systems, and
international relations and diplomacy.
These various simulation models differ
widely in their details but they do contain some common characteristics.
Wherever it is applied, simulation
involves the building of a theory or
model of a system's processes. The desired test elements whose actions are to
be observed are first selected and then
connected according to specific rules of
logic in a manner which describes the
essential features of the system's operation. Various subsystems may be involved and these must be connected so
as to duplicate the actual input-output
flow of information in the system.
Where uncertainty is involved, the
computer may be used to generate
random numbers according to an appropriate probability distribution in
order to select particular events from
all that are possible. The conclusions
are derived by allowing the computer
to carry out the processes postulated in
the model, thereby generating a hypothetical stream of behaviour which can
then be compared with the behaviour
of the real system.
Simulation provides social scientists
with a powerful method for research,
because computer models can be used
to construct and test complex dynamic
theories of real situations. Whereas
mathematical models which require
analytic solutions must be kept relatively simple, computer models can be
as complex as the underlying theory
allows. Moreover, the speed of the
computer is so great that in some
situations it can provide in a matter of
minutes as much experience as could
be obtained from real situations in
several years. As a result, simulation
should enable social scientists to determine more precisely the complex
interrelationships of variables affecting
human behaviour.
Teaching
Words such as "teaching machine"
and 'automated teaching" will not
appeal to many academics. Nevertheless, these words describe nothing
more than the use of computers as an
aid in teaching, and there is good
reason to think that they may some
day become an important aid.
All that is involved in "automated
teaching" is the transmission of questions on many subjects simultaneously
to many students and the immediate
correction of their answers by means
of computer programs.
The advantages of "teaching machines" are best appreciated by considering some of the disadvantages of
lectures. These include the frequent
failure of students to participate, long
delays in the appraisal of students'
progress, and a lecture pace which is
inevitably too fast for some and too
slow for others. With "automated
teaching" students may proceed at
their own pace for the program may be
designed to introduce additional questions for students who show by their
performance that they need to do more
work, and it may skip sections for
students who show that they do not
need the drill. Since overt responses
are required, students must actively
participate and, of course, the computer provides immediate appraisal of
progress.
Teaching machines will never completely replace lectures in any subject
if only because they are restricted to
the kinds of questions and answers
that can be programmed. They do,
however, offer the possibility of relieving teachers of routine teaching
tasks, and of devoting more classroom
time to the creative activities involved
in motivating and inspiring students.
19 Elizabeth Blanche Norcross
From President's Office
Sheila Claire Buchanan, BA '37, BSA '46
"Senate meetings only made sense
to me," a one-time confused, bemused
Convocation member of Senate told
me, "when I received my copy of
Sheila Buchanan's minutes."
For eight years out of the ten she
worked in the President's Office Sheila
Buchanan served as clerk to the Board
of Governors and the Senate of the
University, regularly producing monthly and bi-monthly minutes which
"made sense." Early in that period she
acquired such an insight into the intricacies of the University administration
as to draw another tribute: "If no one
else can tell you, ask Sheila Buchanan."
Miss Buchanan took a rather devious,
and to me even surprising route to the
Board and Senate Room of the University. To begin at the beginning, she
is a native daughter of British Columbia and an alumna of UBC because
her father chose to come west from
the Maritimes. That was in 1887. After
a period of years as a lumberman in
the Kootenays he moved to the Fraser
Valley, bought a farm at Haney and
married—his second marriage. Sheila,
child of that marriage, was born in
New Westminster and received all her
elementary and secondary education in
that city.
Next came the undergraduate years
at UBC and a degree in Classics in
1937, Classics because she felt it the
best basis for a general education.
"Though actually," Miss Buchanan
elaborated when I talked to her, "I
claim I majored in Professor Lemuel
Robertson." Professor Robertson was
then, and for many years, head of the
20 to Bolivian Mission Field
Classics Department. As this former
student pointed out in explanation of
her "major," there was nothing compartmentalized in his teaching, his
lectures covered a wide range of
knowledge.
With the basis of a good general
education now in her possession, Miss
Buchanan took a business course and
then applied her training at Pacific
Veneer in New Westminster, part of
Canadian Forest Products today, drawn
there almost inevitably because of her
father's association with forest products.
The company was formed coincident-
ally with her first job hunting and she
was its first stenographer, a rewarding
experience.
Somehow that led to a return to the
University after a few years and a
degree in Agriculture in 1946—Agriculture to satisfy her interest in science.
With that second degree in her pocket
Miss Buchanan went to Montreal and
for three years worked for a pharmaceutical firm where she was able to use
her science training. Back home then
and a return to the campus, this time
to the office of the Dean of Agriculture
where she kept his files and correspondence in order for six years. From
his office came the transfer to the
President's, in 1955.
What does it involve, being clerk
to the Board of Governors and to the
Senate? So much that no secretary on
campus dared put in an application
when Sheila Buchanan's recent resignation was announced. I would put
it more correctly if I said the job was
being performed so perfectly by Miss
Buchanan that no one familiar with
it dared offer herself as a successor.
We have Dean Soward's word for that.
The clerk's duties might be said to
start with a bulky docket prepared by
her which each Board member receives, together with the agenda, about
a week before the regular monthly
meeting. It is sent through the mail,
and as an indication of its proportions,
on one recent occasion the postage on
each docket was 85c. The clerk drafts
the resolutions arising from the agenda
which will be presented to the Board,
takes the minutes, sends reminders to
the Board of what should be done,
attends to follow-up correspondence. In
addition, she attends the meetings of
the sub-committees of the Board.
All these, the Senate meetings (of
which she makes sense for the uninitiated!) and other lesser matters have
been in the hands of Sheila Buchanan
"who is," Dean Soward, acting secretary of the Board says, "phenomenal
on detail."
In April she turned her University
responsibilities over to a successor and
her attention to a new field.
"When I transferred to the President's Office," Miss Buchanan told me,
"it was with the intention of retiring
in ten years. By coincidence I am doing
almost exactly that."
The coincidence is this: when she
made that plan ten years ago Miss
Buchanan had no thought of taking
on the job to which she has now gone.
That is why she regards leaving the
University at this time not as a resignation but as an early retirement. Re
tirement for her now simply means
another sphere of activity, the mission
field of the Baptist Church in Bolivia.
There is a relationship, of course, to
what she has been doing, her duties at
first will be mainly in the office, but
she expects these to expand as her
knowledge of spoken Spanish improves.
Her Spanish studies started when she
was first living alone and wanted
something easy to do while the kettle
boiled. The Department of Education,
Victoria, produced a correspondence
course which she followed up to some
extent with a Spanish discussion group
of the Women's University Club. Together these two gave her a fairly good
reading knowledge of the language.
Now Sheila Buchanan, clerk to the
Board of Governors and the Senate has
taken her leave of the University. Final
leave, she called it, while adding,
"Thirty years of association with the
University means that it will always
hold a high place in my affections."
Sheila has returned twice to her
alma mater since taking her first degree. Perhaps we can hope we have
not really said good-bye even now. □
21 Nicol on Professors
Our universities are engaged in a
drive to collect several millions of
dollars. I know exactly how many millions, but I don't want to scare you
off right in the first paragraph. Let's
just say that it is a tidy sum.
Some people may feel that the sum
is a little too tidy, compared with the
untidy professors that will inhabit the
buildings. Despite the Open House
programs of universities, the days when
the public is encouraged to trudge
through the laboratories and see for
itself how many miles of glass tubing
are required to siphon off a million
bucks, many people have reservations
about professors.
They balk at subsidizing a space
program that involves boosting an egghead onto Cloud Nine.
This column wishes to reassure such
persons. The professor is worth every
dollar we put into him. The value may
not show, indeed it usually doesn't.
The average professor is not an impressive sight, even when seen in
motion, which is of course quite rare.
It is the professor's very resistance to
movement that is his most valuable
property. I know a dean, for instance,
who is so immune to physical activity,
in his concentration on the mental
kind, that he smokes cigarets with
complete disregard for the ash. The ash
grows to a droopy length that makes
you want to scream out a warning—
then drops on his sports jacket.
The sports jacket itself looks like the
slopes of Vesuvius. Over the years the
deposits of lava have so deepened that
they nourish a lush, green vegetation.
You gain the impression that, laid flat,
the jacket would support a grazing
herd of some smaller species of ruminant for several weeks.
Every undergraduate interviewed by
this much-loved dean cannot fail to
be struck to his innermost being by
the fact that here is a person, a brain,
completely oblivious of personal safety
in its devotion to matters of the mind.
The dean may set himself afire several times in the course of a single
(reprinted from The Province)
meeting with a student who has been
having trouble with his courses. The
university fire department has learned
how to put him out without, so to
speak, his being put out.
Admittedly not all the members of
faculty are as rich in potash as this
dean. Some of the younger ones show
distressing flashes of awareness of extraneous events in the world about
them, such as the invention of television and the rise in the cost of living.
But, properly looked after, most of
them will develop into real scholars,
unable to identify Sophia Loren but
remembering the name of a student
last seen in their class 20 years ago.
So when we subscribe to the fund
Eric Nicol, BA '41, MA '48
drive for those millions of dollars, we
can remind ourselves that it is an
investment in other - worldliness, the
world where absence makes the mind
grow faster.
I myself hope that the universities
will collect enough money to be able
to finance a research group to explore
means of preserving from extinction
the mouldy type of professor, the kind
whose open mind extends all the way
down to his fly.
This professor is in danger of disappearing in the flood of bright young
PhD's, some of whom talk like busi
nessmen and flick their cigaret ash
accurately into an ash-tray.
TJy giving now, let's get it over with,
-■-'all this expanding, building and
hammering. Clear the air for serene
cerebration—and those calm wisps of
smoke emanating from the dean's office
window. □
As others see us
(The following letter was written by
Sabina Prietz, an Agriculture student,
to her home university student paper,
the "Ontarion". Miss Prietz came from
Guelph for a year's study at UBC.)
UBC's motto is 'Tuum Est' (It's up
to you) and they are not kidding.
Everyone is on his own here; no one
cares what we take, as long as we
know something for the exams.
Whatever we do is our own responsibility. No two timetables are alike,
and among fifteen thousand students,
everyone goes his own way.
UBC has many more kinds of people
than OAC. There are Aggies and
Home Ec. girls, Engineers and Science-
men, but also Arts students, and those
in Education, Social Work Medicine,
Forestry and others. It is nothing to
have undergraduates, postgrads, even
professors and elderly people all in the
same class.
There is much more racial integration. International House, mentioned
in the Ontarion a few weeks ago, is
very much a success. All students are
welcome there, and the foreign visitors
try to give Canadian students some of
the atmosphere of their own countries.
The Ontarion has tried to explain
what Arts students would add to U.
of G. We can see that so well here. I
even want to use the word 'culture.'
Every day at noon alone there are concerts, and films, and discussions on
things from Fine Arts to Spanish to
Politics.
What has the large number of students done to school spirit? True,
Homecoming (for example) has become more impersonal, when more
than one Homecoming Dance has to
be held to accommodate everyone; but
it is still there.
UBC has residence problems too.
We live in a camp of army huts. We
are so far away from the main campus that the dining hall will give us
bag lunches for busy days, it is too far
to come back. But there are beautiful
new residence blocks here too. Only
never enough, just like at OAC.
22 An army of volunteers 5,000 strong, is now out selling
the cause the cause of higher education opportunities for
all quahfied young people. Students are enlisted in this
army, alumni, and citizens who rose to leadership in their
communities without benefit of sheepskin. There is the
special group of women volunteers, a cross-section of all
three categories, whose symbol is a key and whose special

23 ANNUAL MEETING
Our Table Officers for 1965-66
R. W. Macdonald, LLB'50
Roderick Macdonald has taken over
the president's gavel for the year 1965-
66. He served the Association last year
as 1st vice-president and for a two-
year term, 1963 and 1964, as AAG
chairman.
Mr. Macdonald is a lawyer by profession.
Mrs. K. M. (Joyce) Walley
Second vice-president for 1965-66 is
Mrs. K. M. Walley. Though a newcomer to the table officers Mrs. Walley
was arts degree representative in 1957-
59, member-at-large and chairman of
reunions in 1962-64. Extra-curricularly
she was district governor for Alpha Phi
Sorority from 1955-57 and is currently
a director of the Working Boys' Home
Society.
Perhaps with a sigh of relief David
M. Brousson has joined the honorable
company of past presidents. Like all
Association presidents of recent years
he attended innumerable committee
meetings and visited and addressed a
number of branches during his term
of office. He is vice-president and managing director of Century Sales Ltd.
D. M. Brousson, BASc'49
K. R. Martin, BCom'46
Another new table officer is Kenneth

consultant (labour relations).
Mr. John L. Gray, last year's 3rd
vice-president, has skipped a rung on
the ladder to become the new 1st vice-
president. He served for three years as
chairman of the editorial committee,
a post he has now relinquished.
Fraser Valley Milk Producers Association claims him as their public relations manager.
John L. Gray, BSA'39

This time the director's desk is mobile. Since the last issue
we have been visiting with the alumni and other citizens
of British Columbia as part of a planned series of "University Nights." These events have the sole purpose of
bringing the University to the people of the province, to
inform them and to tell the exciting story of Higher Education in B. C. today.
The camera bug hitched a ride with me, and I'd like to
share this odyssey with you.

27 News of the University
Degrees and more Degrees
of the federal government in Ottawa,
were granted DSc's. Dr. Piel gave the
address that day.
An honorary degree of doctor of laws
was conferred posthumously on George
Cunningham, late chairman of the
Board of Governors, who died in office
on March 7.
Some 2,000 first degrees were granted
at the Spring Congregation and, in
round figures, 175 graduate degrees, of
which 25 were PhD's.
Arts Program
Is Discussed
Discipline and Discovery is the title
of a new conversation piece on UBC's
campus. This 43-page booklet is subtitled "A Proposal to the Faculty of
Arts of The University of British
Columbia" and is the work of five professors—C. W. J. Eliot, Kaspar D.
Naegele, Margaret Prang, M. W. Steinberg, and Lionel Tiger.
Although a great shout of joy went
up from student editors who saw it
(no more exams!), there is much more
in the booklet than a suggestion to
abolish examinations. It proposes some
fairly radical changes in the program
of studies that should be presented to
first and second year students, discusses
the philosophy underlying the authors'
recommendations, and in a section entitled "Ways and Means" deals with
the problems involved in implementing the changes.
Discipline and Discovery has been
given a restricted circulation among
those directly concerned with the academic and administrative changes that
would become necessary if the proposed program should be adopted.
Dr. Mackenzie Honored
On June 10 a signal honor was bestowed on President Emeritus N. A.
M. MacKenzie—and by extension perhaps one could say on this university
—when Cambridge University granted
him an honorary degree.
Dorothy Somerset
MlSS DOROTHY SOMERSET, who for
many years seemed to personify theatre
at UBC, who has been associated with
theatre training at this university for
more than thirty years and has now
retired as acting head of the department of theatre, was one of six persons
to be awarded honorary degrees at the
two-day Spring Congregation. Dr.
Somerset, D.Litt., also gave the Congregation address on May 27.
Another to receive an honorary degree was UBC's own Professor Emeritus Harry T. Logan. Dr. Logan, LL.D.,
was an instructor in classics at McGill
College, and was one of the original
members of faculty of the new University of British Columbia. After service
in WW I, he returned to teach classics
until 1936. On his second return to the
University in 1949 he became head of
the department of classics. Since his
retirement in 1953 he has continued to
teach in the department.
Dr. Francis R. Scott, Macdonald Professor of Law at McGill University
and a leading Canadian expert on constitutional law, was another recipient
of an honorary degree (LL.D.) on
May 27.
On the second day of the Congregation Gerard Piel, publisher of the
magazine Scientific American, and Dr.
Frank Forward, former head of UBC's
department of metallurgy and now
director of the new scientific secretariat
George T. Cunningham
(The following paragraphs were excerpted
from the minutes of a Board of Governors
meeting.)
The members of the Board of Governors desire to place on record in the
minutes of the Board's first meeting
since his death, their profound regret
and deep sadness at the loss of their
distinguished Chairman, George Torrance Cunningham.
For 32 years he gave the University
unselfish and unstinted service. After
an initial apprenticeship as an ordinary member of the Board, he served
for years with distinction as Chairman of its Finance Committee, and
latterly as Chairman of the entire
Board. At all times he won the affection and respect of his colleagues by
his fairness, his sound judgment, and
his outstanding gift for reconciling
different points of view on matters of
policy.
No man could have served the University of British Columbia more sincerely, more modestly, and more affectionately.
But George Cunningham did not
limit his devotion to public service to
the University of British Columbia. At
various times he served Vancouver as
a member of the City Council, the
School Board, and the Town Planning
Commission. The Metropolitan Health
Centre and the Health Centre for
Children were two agencies to which
he gave years of devoted service. Institutions as varied as the Board of Management of the Queen Elizabeth
Theatre and the Vancouver Aquarium
Association gained much by his advice
and counsel. Recognition of his public
service to the community was reflected
in his being made a Freeman of the
City of Vancouver.
28 News of the University
CHAIRMAN OUTLINES BOARD'S GOALS
over fifty years ago the people of this
province created our University for the
purpose of improving the education of
our young men and women. Under the
University statute enacted by the legislature the responsibility for managing
this new university was entrusted to
the Board of Governors and the Senate.
At that time, save for the chancellor
and the president, the members of the
Board of Governors were wholly appointed by the provincial government.
An important link between these two
governing bodies was created when,
in 1935, the Senate was allowed to
elect three of its non-faculty members
to the Board of Governors.
In 1957 the Act was again amended
to allow for three direct appointments
to the Senate by the Board of Management of the Alumni Association.
A number of studies of university
government have been recently undertaken which will no doubt bring forth
interesting suggestions regarding the
constitution of our own governing
bodies.
Among the constituent groups of the
university family the alumni continue
to play a prominent role. Their spirit,
their drive, their loyalty have been the
impelling factors that have helped the
university in its present expansion.
Without their support the university
would not be able to carry forward its
heavy program.
The Board of Governors sees great
prospects ahead for the university.
Architect planners have been employed
who are preparing a master plan for
our campus. Our program when completed will cost over $50,000,000, this
sum being in addition to the $38,000,-
000 already expended on construction
by the Board since April 1, 1956.
Among the most exciting prospects,
however, is the utilization of two great
gifts of money made to the university
by Dr. H. R. MacMillan. The $4,000,-
000 grant for the library will make it
possible to more than triple its present
size. By 1975 it is expected that it will
have over two million volumes and
will then be not only the largest but
the best library in Canada.
Concurrently we have received some
$4,000,000 from Dr. MacMillan for
graduate scholarships. Students graduating this year will be eligible to enter
the graduate school of this institution
and apply for the annual awards of
$3,200 (with an additional amount of
$500 for the University).
Professors' salaries and benefits are
now among the best in Canada and
undoubtedly will keep pace with salaries in the other great universities on
this continent.
Today we must look beyond the
temporary confusion of building and
Mr. Justice Nathan Nemetz, BA '34
crowded classrooms to our goal of expanded opportunity for all, to the day
when facilities will be such as to
create an atmosphere of unhurried
learning and where classes are so organized that professors will again be
able to know and cultivate their
students.
We hope that soon scholarships and
living allowances will be available to
every student who merits entrance to
university and every student who
has the ability will be searched out,
in the interior of the province as well
as in Vancouver, and given the opportunity of obtaining the benefits and
privileges of higher education. These
then are our goals.
— NATHAN M. NEMETZ,
Chairman, Board of Governors
Dr. David M. Myers
We lose a Dean
Dean of applied science Dr. David
M. Myers has left us to head a new
university in his native Australia. This
university, La Trobe, will be the third
in Melbourne.
Although La Trobe now consists of
700 acres of land, Dr. Myers expects it
to open in 1967-68 and to build an
enrolment of 10,000 students within
five to ten years.
Dr. Myers was dean of the Faculty
of Engineering and head of the department of electrical engineering at
the University of Sydney before coming to UBC in 1960.
Dr. Ormsby
Named Head
Acting head of the history department
since July 1963, Dr. Margaret Ormsby
was appointed head effective last
March 1. This appointment puts Dr.
Onnsby into a select company of two,
the only two women ever to have
headed history departments in Canada.
The other is Prof. Hilda Neatby of the
University of Saskatchewan.
Another recent honor for Dr.
Ormsby was her election as president
of the Canadian Historical Association.

Well known Educator dies
William Cochrane wilson, BA'16,
died on February 22 after a brief illness.
A native son, Bill received his early
education at the old Mount Pleasant
School (Broadway & Kingsway).
After graduating from King Edward
High School he attended McGill University (B.C.) at the old Fairview
shacks on 10th Avenue and was a
member of the first graduating class of
UBC. He served overseas in WW I
with the 46th Battery of Queen's University, Kingston.
Bill was a dedicated and successful
teacher and was the recipient of many
of the highest honors awarded by the
teaching profession. He worked tirelessly in numerous teacher organizations, on curriculum revision committees and in the Inter-High School Athletic Association. He served with distinction as a teacher for over 40 years,
in a career that started in Vernon,
moved to Cranbrook, then to New
Westminster, and ended at King Edward in Vancouver. Because of his long
association with King Edward as a
student, teacher and principal, he became known by the apt pseudonym,
"Mr. King Edward."
A keen sportsman his activities
ranged from "rugger," golf, basketball
William C. Wilson, BA '16
and track to baseball. He was a member of the championship Vernon baseball team in 1926.
Many of the old gang will long remember Bill's portrayal of Thisbe in
A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Always a booster of the young
people, he was unusually successful in
guiding, counselling and understanding
them. Until his death he remained
active in numerous youth organizations
Memorial Fund
A "Stella Shopland Memorial Fund"
is planned at The University of British
Columbia to commemorate the work of
one of Canada's outstanding authorities on children's literature. (Miss
Shopland's obituary appears elsewhere
in this issue.)
Stella Shopland's lively and dedicated interest in children's literature had
inspired thousands of student and practising teachers and for thirty years
had profoundly influenced the school
library movement in British Columbia.
Former friends and colleagues of
Miss Shopland are invited to contribute
to the fund by cheques payable to The
University of British Columbia (Stella
Shopland Memorial Fund). Cheques
should be mailed to Prof. W. H. Gage,
Dean of Inter-Faculty and Student

30 Call ZENITH numbers to
shop by long distance
without paying a cent
People often ask us what a ZENITH number is.
ZENITH numbers are listed in your directory by progressive business firms located outside your free-calling
area. A ZENITH number means that the firm automatically accepts your long distance call and pays the
charge —not you.
You can't dial a ZENITH number.
You simply dial "O" and give the Operator the ZENITH
number of the firm you are calling. They may be located
in any B.C. city, or other Canadian and U.S. points.
You'll be connected within seconds, with no questions
asked, and treated like a red-carpet guest.
That's what you are to an out-of-town firm that lists a
ZENITH number in your directory. They are happy to
pay for the privilege of hearing from you. They would
like your business and are out to please you.
All of which means that a firm with a ZENITH number
is usually a mighty good firm to do business with.

Anyone Can Get Clogged Encoders
CYBERNETICS is Big all over now, but did you know that
behaviorist psychologists are already applying cybernetics
thinking to PEOPLE as well as to computers and machines?
They say that with the flood of information coming at people
from all directions these days we simply must start absorbing
it systematically. If we don't our channel capacities get flabby
and we can't input enough programming to cope. Our encoders
get clogged, we get feedback congestion and consequent overload and then our output whatsit blows up and we can't converse logically about hardly anything, and our friends think we
are losing touch. Too much information? By no means! Just
input for an hour or so every day the news you get in a good
paper like The Vancouver Sun and you'll have no cybernetics
trouble.
